In historical Chilean agriculture, an inquilino was a laborer who was indebted to a landlord and allowed to establish a farm on certain portions of the landlord's property, typically in marginal lands to deter intruders.
[1] These inquilinos played a crucial role in tasks such as livestock gathering (rodeo) and slaughter.
Historian Mario Góngora has conducted extensive research on the history of inquilinos.
[3] In modern Spanish, the word "inquilino" carries the same meaning as the English term "tenant".
